Forgiveness isn’t
easy. It doesn’t take away the pain, and it doesn’t mean it’s deserved.
Some will say to forgive because it helps you move forward yourself.
While there is truth in that, it’s not true forgiveness. Forgiveness is a
gift, a selfless act of love that is given, not something that is done
to receive. The only place I have found truth in forgiveness is through a
deeper revelation of how God loves us: unconditionally and undeserved.
When I understood this I saw how God wants freedom in forgiveness for
everyone; even those who have caused us pain. That’s why we forgive;
because we were first forgiven. How? Not in our own strength, but by
seeing those who’ve hurt us through God’s eyes: with His unconditional
and abundant love.
Sometimes you will make mistakes; consciously or unconsciously. Either way, admit to them and their consequences. Learn from them. Commit to never doing them again. While God always forgives, He ultimately only wants the best for us. He loves us too much to leave us the way we are, and when we make mistakes, it’s a clear indication something needs to change.
I forgive coz I am forgiven by God even though I don't deserve it!
